Where Do I Start? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi everyone,
I'm coming from HTC to Samsung and have had a look through the forums but can't find any definite threads/ answers before I proceed with custom Roms.
Can you help?
What do I need to do to root and flash a custom Rom?
Links would be appreciated :highfive:
Cheers for the support,
Kev

[Q] Installing different model bootloader

Hello,
I have a snapdragon 801 based galaxy s5(G900P) from Sprint. Can I install a different bootloader from another snapdragon 801 based galaxy s5? IE(G900T, G900F, G900M, etc). Will that brick my device? I asked on sprint's s5 forum but it seems nobody can answer.
Any help could be appreciated.
Regards
